🦜📢 We need your help! 📢🦉 There is just 8 days left of our crowdfunding campaign → https://t.co/f25lRNorhy to support our new nest box research project 🐥🏡 and we could really use your help 🙏 We're 13% to our goal to raise $5,635, and I’d love your support! @victoriauninews

One of my biggest issues with academia is that the reward for being incompetent at service is less service, and the reward for being good at service is more service, which can lead to unequal (+ very often gendered) service distributions. Any tips for dealing with this?!

My undergrads often have no idea about what I do, other than pop up to gives lectures once a week. My postgrads, who want to get into academia, aren't always well informed about what that means either. So I started drafting this. What say you, #AcademicTwitter? What'd I miss?

Miss anything during #VicBioCon21? All conference recordings have now been uploaded to the iChair (@ScoocsCo) platform! Recordings will be available to watch any time until Friday 12th March. 1/3

Has humanity actually progressed from Rags to Riches? Chris McCormack from @RTW_Aus provides #VicBioCon21 a thought provoking alternative narrative - 'Riches to Rags'. Maybe human 'progress' has actually been a fall from nature. 🧑‍🌾🌱🐨📲🤷‍♀️ @VicBioCon

Minda Murray on using Indigenous names for species at #VicBioCon21 ‘every time you use language you insert a bit of culture back into the landscape’. Let’s do it! Learn local Indigenous names for the species you work with, use them, and keep culture alive! 🗣🌿🌾🦜🦎 @VicBioCon

Minda Murray, proud Yorta Yorta and Duduroa woman, reminds us that people are key. We can’t manage country without people. This is a common thread, which we have repeatedly heard at #VicBioCon21 today. Let’s remember that for conservation to succeed, we need people! @VicBioCon

Q: Are Australia’s current laws working to protect threatened biodiversity? A: No. The very important question is, where to from here? #VicBioCon21 @VicBioCon

Australia's biodiversity laws might look good on paper but aren't being implemented well - we need more💰, outcomes delivered ✅, inclusion of Traditional knowledge❗, Climate Change and cumulative impacts considered and NOT undermining by ministerial discretion #VicBioCon21

Great suggestion from @EuanRitchie1 for improving urban biodiversity: let’s convert our gardens and nature strips to native habitat! No more lawn mowing, yay! 🌿🌾🌳🦎#VicBioCon21

We are reminded by @EuanRitchie1 that the best conservation science will only take us so far. Investing energy in communicating our work and influencing policy is crucial. Remember to tell your conservation stories 🗣️🌱🐨 Find your mentors and encourage others #VicBioCon21

Our first plenary @EuanRitchie1 knows that working in conservation can be confronting and evokes ALL the emotions 😃😤😭🥰 but reminds us that there are good people doing wonderful things! 😍 Can't wait to hear from more of these good people over the two days of #VicBioCon21
